The reason that the Giants have to be considered the team most likely to win is due to the outstanding pitching that they have been receiving this season from their starters. Most notably, Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain have been the two guys that are really stepping forward to carry this team on their backs. Lincecum, currently, is 10-4 with a 2.94 ERA while Cain is 7-8 with a 3.30 ERA. Two other pitchers that have found a great deal of success in the city by the Bay this season are Jonathon Sanchez and Barry Zito. For Zito, it is just another season in a long line of outstanding campaigns while Sanchez is simply looking to capitalize on being part of one of baseball's best rotations. The Giants understand that they need to get the most out of their pitchers in order to win this game against a tough Dodgers club, but in the end, they should be able to pull out the free wager victory over the Dodgers.

The hitting for the Dodgers has been the key to their success this year, as the trio of Ethier, Kemp, and Loney have all found a great deal of prosperity in the city of Angels. Ethier has been the best of the three, as exemplified by his appointment to the National League All-Star team. With a .322 average, 15 HR, and 55 RBI, Ethier is quickly establishing himself as one of the premier hitters in all of baseball. Rafael Furcal has also been hitting exceptionally well, as his average is currently over the .330 mark. Furcal was already considered to be one of the top defensive shortstops in the game, but he is also becoming known for having quite the bat as well. Unfortunately for the Dodgers, all of this great hitting will be a moot point against the phenomenal pitching of the San Francisco Giants, which is why the Giants get the nod as the free bet pick in L.A.

Don't count either one of these teams out of the divisional race yet. With San Diego leading the way by the slimmest of margins, both the Giants and the Dodgers are ready to pounce on any slip-ups that either of the other two teams may have. This game should be a battle to the ninth inning, but there is no doubt that casinosltd.com believes the San Francisco Giants deserve to be the free wager on Wednesday night.
